To preheat the extruder, follow these steps.
Choose the "Mainte-
nance" from the LCD
touchscreen menu.
Choose "Load Filament".
Choose PARK TOOL, wait
for the machine to posi-
tion the toolhead. When
done, choose "PLA" to
preheat the material.
Wait till extruder reaches
the proper temperature.
The yellow HEATING sign
will change colour from
yellow to green.
Tap the LOAD/UNLOAD
menu.
Tap the upper arrow on
the screen to remove 80
mm of the filament. At
first, extruder will load 40
mm to prevent clogging.
Repeat if needed.
Adjust the temperature
for the type of filament
which will be used. To do
that, tap the HEATING
menu first.
There are two ways to
arrange the temperature
for other materials than
PLA.
First option is by quick
set up button "ABS",
which automatically
arrange the tempera-
tures for maintaining this
